    How does stuff like this end up shipping? Does this kind of design and quality meet with Tim’s approval?

      I don’t think Tim approves things the same way Jobs did.

      Apple does say this on the product page:

      The FineWoven material may show wear over time. Interaction with MagSafe accessories will leave slight imprints. If you are concerned about this, we suggest you use an iPhone 15 Pro Silicone Case or Clear Case.

      It doesn’t excuse the cutouts being bad, but they know it’s going to wear. The thing they kind do ignored is that people think old worn leather looks good, while old worn fabric generally looks bad.

      I honestly don’t think it’s that big a deal. When the leather cases got marked people called it “patina” and said it was a good thing. I always thought it was pretty disgusting.

      I think these new cases are fine, and that Apple blogs love a good outrage story.
